THE NORWICH ABDUCTION CASE.

The Providence Journal, alluding to the Flora 0. Morgan abduction case in Norwich says: "The parents of the child, who lived in Brockton, Mass, died when she was about three months old, and it was the wish of the father, who arrived with his wife, that Flora should be placed in the care and custody of the grandmother, who lives in Providence and
 is highly respectable, but in moderate cir
 cumstances. Accordingly Mrs. Morgan took
 charge of the little orphan and has kindly
 cared for her up to within 6 month. In the
 latter part of August Mrs. W. H. Gilmore,
 one of F1ora's aunts, came to this city on visit, and by means of false representations succeeded in prevailing upon the grandmoth- CT and another aunt, Mrs. Mary Bent, to al- low her to take the child to Connecticut on child away and has kept possession of her eyer since"

 In one of the St. Lous-Athletic games played at Philadelphia Latham, not liking McQuades umpiring, insultingly asked him if he "was going to do the right thing in the game" McQuade replied that he was, and immediately imposed a fine of $135 on the dude third baseman.
 If John Ward, IL. B., of the New Works, keeps that level head with which he is blessed and steers the Brotherhood of Base Ball Players wisely he ought to be able to emancipate the players from the condition of serfdom of which they complain. The mana gers have the money. but Capt. John has the players, and business is business in base ball as in everything else.-Evening Sun.
 When the members of a ball club do not know where they are to play game some thing must be wrong. On Monday the Nets were scurrying around New York to find out whether they play ted at home or in Philadel- phia. The game vas played in the latter place, although the team was advertised to play at home. The fact is the Nets are thoroughly demoralized. A team that took the association pennant two years ago, but is atthe tail end now, and with the same players. Too much management, and no mistake.

ASSETS ONLY sI5O,OOO.

Judge Robertson Announces That the
 Assets of the Wrecked Wheeler Estate
 Will Not Exceed One Hundred and
 Fifty Thousand DOIlars-General SEE.
 MerwIn Appointed Trustee.
 The matter of appointing trustee to ad- minister the affairs of the insolvent firm of E. s. Wheeler & Go. came up before Judge Robertson in the Probate court yesterday afternoon at 9 o'clock. Judge Robertson an nounced that Samuel A. Galpin had been named for the position by the assigning firm. There was room full of creditors menced. President Curtis of the City bank, President Bradley of the Yale bank, Cashier J. 0. Bradley of the Merchants bank and one or two Hartford bank men were present, as we'll as Lawyers Johnson T. Platt and J. F. Moran, representing Heidelbach, Ichel- heimer 6 Co.,, H. G. Newton for Brown Brothers & Co.,, Attorney McVeigh of New York for Drexel, Morgan 6 Co.,, and John w. filling and Henry D. White, the latter appearing for Receiver Galpin.
 Judge Robertson wanted to know if there was any objection to Mr. Galpin The latter gentleman stated that if there was not a unanimous desire on the part of the credit ors for his appointment he would wish his name withdrawn. Attorney White sug- gested the name of General s E. Merwin. Gen eral Merwin was appointed by the court and the court stated that it would fix the bonds at $200, ,O0O unless the creditors thought that bigger bond was required. The reports as filed were read, and the court stated that, in his opinion, $200,0OO would be sufficient, for, so far as he could learn, S150,000 would be as much as could be real- ized from the assets. The court then announced that he would appoint the com missioners on the estate when Mr. MerWin qualified as trustee. In discussing the assets Judge Robertson said that he had learned that the item of $40, 900 in the assets cred tied to wire mill stock was of no consequence, as he had learned it was valueless.
 The appointment of General Merwin was very satisfactory to the court and the credit ors, and is looked upon by all business men throughout the city as a very wise one. It is certain that he will lose no time in closing up the estate, as his record in similar posi- tions in the past amply testifes.
 The meagreness of the assets of the concern was the town talk yesterday afternoon and evening.
 Last evenings Hartford Times says: The general impression in financial circles on the E. s. Wheeler &c Go. failure is that it will prove much worse than appears by the state- ment filed in tine New Haven Probate court. General Merwin is in the West Investigating the affairs of the firm in that section; a visit to Hartford to day by New Haven man re- vealed the fact that the paper held here and also in New Haven, is much larger than re- ported in the New Haven Probate court state ment.

 THE JUSTICE WAS TOO OLD.
 Judge Deming, of the Common Pleas court, yesterday rendered decision in quite pe- culiar case. Lawyer Charles W. Mann, of Meriden, sued Charles L. Floto for profes- sional services, amounting in balance to about S20. It was tried before James H. Huggins, who had been elected justice of the peace in Meriden at the last election and qualified several days before trying this case. Justice Higgins found for the plaintiff, and the defendant appealed to the court of common pleas. Several weeks ago, by his attorney, Judge Merriman, de- fendant appeared before Judge Dem- ing and moved that the case be erased from the docket, on the ground that Justice Huggins was disqualified to try the case because over seventy years old, there being a clause in the constitution of Connec- ticut prohibiting any justice of the peace over this age. Attorney Fay, for the plain tiff, claimed that if Justice Huggins' court was not legal one the defendants appeal was not legal, as 1t was taken from an illegal court, consequently there was no appeal and nothing before the court of common pleas Judge Deming decided that Judge Higgins, when he tried the case, was seventy years, nine months and one day old, and sustained defendants motion to throw the case out of court
